I think many of these kinds of comments are driven by a form of insecurity. They subconsciously wish they had written the article and are envious of the attention the author is receiving… so they find whatever small nitpick they can in order to tear it down.
Sorry for my low-value comment, but I think it is appropriate here. Doing a psychoanalysis of OP does not really add to the discussion meaningfully.
Same applies to parent comment.
